MMT describes how money already works

There is some logic. It's heading towards MMThttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_TheoryMany people misunderstand what MMT actually is, cherry pick parts and call that MMT. It's interesting concept, I dont think it will work but many do.

More like Post-Modern Monetary Theory (What really is money anyways? Why can't we just print as much as we want?)

Sounds like you've independently invented MMT.
